TEM. Pl. rosary, 3
The use of humor and political reflection are two constants in the company's theatrical production The Caloric, what in The birds look back 2.500 years to bring Aristophanes' work up to date, a criticism of democracy when it was starting to walk. The original comedy tells the story of two Athenians who, fed up with public interference in their affairs, they leave the world of humans and convince the birds to create a new civilization. Calòrica starts here to study the emotional mechanisms that make today's neoliberal populism work, with black and absurd humor, in an unsuspected political cabaret where the birds talk and political leaders become messianic DJs. What is left of democracy in Western democracies? S.M.
